RE: Steering wheel is crooked
Find a independent alignment shop that does trucks. Off center wheel is a pretty simple fix. It involves adjusting the tie rods, one out and one in to make center the wheel. While your at it make sure the shop knows how to correct Ford wandering problems. It will make a world of difference.

Couple of bug bombs about twice a year should take care of most unwanted critters.

RE: help identify brake control
It's a really old inertia type controller. I would junk it and buy a new proportional unit.
OOPS:o I said time based and I meant proportional

RE: walk through
Make sure YOU understand how everything works. Make sure unit is clean and ready to go. Do the walk thru before you sign the papers. There are lots of check lists you can download and orint. Take a video camera with you to record everything if you can.

RE: New or used for a newbee
If you have the tow vehicle I would go with the Mobile Suites. Better insulation, thicker walls. But any would work.

RE: Small trailer-some might call a Teardrop
Teardrop was as I remember a name given to a small trailer that got its name from the shape. There has been within the last few years several makers that have released a similar design. Usually there is a lift up hatch in the rear that contains the kitchen. A couple of doors in the side to access the sleeping area. Do a web search for Tab trailers. That should turn up several web sites. For something a bit more also look at ALiner trailers.

RE: New Concrete Driveway for 5th Wheel
I was always told full cure happened after 28 days. So I guess he was being cautious with 60 days.

RE: LEVEL?
X2 what turbo diesel dude said. The only thing that is important is the refer. If it is level, the rest of the trailer is good enough.

RE: Rt 35 Oregon I 84 to Mt Hood Village Resort
Only problem I see is how 35 climbs up the east slope of Mt Hood and then you drop down from Government Camp to MtHood RV. But since there is really no good way 35 is about the best choice. Gut from Troutdale it is only about a 35 minute jaunt on a nice 4 lane road, whereas 35 is two lane.

RE: Corn beef hash?
Cook your own corned beef, Shred it and using canned potatoes make your own. Cheap and easy to do. If I am making it at home, I will either microwave a couple of potatoes to about half done, take them out and dice them up or buy canned potatoes and dice them. Fry them in some oil in a heavy cast iron skillet. Season to taste. I use Johnnies, add the shredded beef near the end just to heat. Be sure to soft cook a couple of eggs for each person.

RE: How long is too long? re: length of TT
Realistically if you like the less popular camp sites stay under about 25 feet. Longer than that and you start loosing sites. Many state and National sites are older and were designed when most people tent camped or trailers were quite small.

RE: Recomendations on cell & internet service
Does the 49.95 cover both cell and internet?
That price is one basic phone with minimum minutes. Data will cost you 30 dollars a month for starters. If you go with a smart phone you can share the data with your computer for that 30 dollars a month. That is if you use one of the free apps available for everything except Apple phones. Figure between 70 and a hundred dollars a month for phone data plan for one phone. On a family plan another 10 for the second phone.

RE: Electrical shock off of propane valve handle please help!!!
Yes. I have had it happen to me a few times. Always at home and always when plugged in to my outlet. Some days i would get a shock and other days I did not. Once I removed everything except the cord set from trailer to house no more problems. You can always do the light bulb test from trailer to ground to see what happens.
